Ski Mountaineering

NORTH CONWAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Do you want to open up new terrain and immerse yourself in the mountains? This course will give you the skills you need to start using mountaineering techniques to approach ski routes that wouldn’t be accessible otherwise. You’ll learn how to climb efficiently using a mountaineering axe in your hand and crampons on your ski boots. This course is designed for Telemark or Alpine Touring Skiers that have done our Backcountry Ski course or have extensive personal skiing experience. No mountaineering experience is required, but you may want to sign up for our Introduction To Ice Climbing course or our 3-day Accelerated Mountaineering course if you are really interested.

Ski Mountaineering courses are booked by private arrangement only.
